Global Climate Restoration Task Force

Context

Climate restoration is a new and under-resourced component of global climate action designed to complement ongoing adaptation and mitigation efforts. Climate restoration focuses on the removal of up to a trillion tons of excess atmospheric CO2 to restore our climate to proven safe pre-industrial levels and preserving Arctic ice to limit disastrous methane release. We are committed to restoring a proven safe and healthy climate to ensure the survival and flourishing of humanity and our natural world, for ourselves and for generations to come.

Without urgent action to deploy global climate restoration solutions, we will be left with a destabilized climate that threatens the survival of humanity and the natural world. Early stage climate restoration efforts are fragmented and there is fierce competition for resources. Innovators are currently hindered by political, regulatory and financial barriers.

In order to optimize and accelerate the diverse global movement of climate restoration as it rapidly emerges, there is a need and a unique opportunity to initiate robust global coordination, alignment, learning and cooperation mechanisms between partners. With that in mind, the Global Climate Restoration Task Force is forming.

Global Climate Restoration Task Force

The Global Climate Restoration Task Force (Task Force) will work to design principles and actions for climate restoration solutions. This new multi-stakeholder task force is envisioned to design a framework that will drive action on the following priorities:

Develop and drive policy agendas, including time-bound goals and targets;

Mobilize commitments and ensure mutual accountability;

Foster communication and collaboration to align strategic priorities within the climate restoration movement;

Support the scale-up of climate restoration solutions with research, investment, favorable policies, legal frameworks, and regulations.
